Game Thread: Illinois vs Rutgers

[freebird6]

When Lewis is finishing his drives on you it's clear your team needs help...

not only finishing but dropping wicked passes

I was born June 3, 1981. That was the day I became an Illini fan. I have invested my time, money and emotions in to this program and if I want to post negative, counter productive statements about the team I love I will. What do u want me to say? If I see bad, I'm gonna speak bad. I'm tired of saying "next year we should be pretty good". Makes me feel like a damn Cubs fan

Strange for a first post, but whatever.

I admit I took Illinois to cover 14.5 sweating bullets

Well, isn't this fun. For once!

Lewis & Mav having a nice game so far.

Lewis & mav are showing us what the offense is suppose to look like.

Welcome to the board. We look forward to insightful posts in the future.

DJW is simply a basketball player and is slowly becoming the player on our team I am most interested in.

 

[CARPET]

DJW could become one special player

Yes indeed you are correct

"We should never feel like a cub fan" needs to be a cardinal of Illini fandom.

My two favorite players are freshman. DJW and JCL ...going to be really really good sometime soon

Cool story bro. Oh btw, the Cubs are pretty damn good, if you haven't noticed.

Agreed. I think that he is starting to figure things out. One of the benefits of the injuries we have gone through this year.

can't wait for the next 1000. Looks like you signed up for a reason

Is it weird that DJW is the type of player I want Leron to turn into? Because DJW has stepped up his motor recently, but he also looks like he's in control

I am just glad he is not a Cub fan, definitely couldn't handle it

Wait till next year as a Cubs fan I will take that as an Illini fan. Cause it took awhile but Cubs could be great for a long time. I'd be happy if Illini got there to now

 

[BlindLoyalty]

We need to play these guys every game.

Here is what their beat writer wrote earlier this season. "I have covered sports in this state (NJ) for 17 years now, and I honestly can't remember a more hopeless situation than the current state of this Rutgers basketball program."

I kind of want Black to be a power 4. DJW is playing like an athletic 4. I do get your point about the motor though. Like seeing it.

2 def rebounds OOB off DJW.... hype killer

[icengineer]

Why is AA in the game? Nothing against the kid, but this is the sort of game where all our Frosh should be getting big minutes.

 

[freebird6]

Have to admit I wasn't high on recruiting him but I am firmly in the DJ Williams camp. Great balance, vision, length, and nose for the ball. Love what I've been seeing lately!
